Luckily the FAQ already mentions why this is a bad idea.

> Please note that due of the hardware of the raspberry pi, harmonics ARE generated on 3x, 5x, 7x and 9x the desired frequency. Those harmonics are polluting important services like emergency services a d others.

Please do not use the GPIO of a Raspberry Pi to generate a high frequency to emit radio waves. Putting square waves on the air is always asking for trouble. A simple filter is not a proper solution if the source is so dirty.

For a project as well built of this seems, it seems odd that they would advice people to use such a hacky way. Syncing networked clients to play audio at exactly the same time is a solved problem.

I doubt it's useful to draw conclusions in today's world. The chart is almost two years old.

The dedicated Streetview app was finally killed because streetview is already integrated in regular google maps. To me, that seems like a good reason to discontinue the dedicated app.

I don't get the reasoning behind this article. Half of this list is side projects which didn't work out, which is understandable to a certain degree. The article feels like blogspam riding on the hypetrain of people disliking when google discontinues products like Stadia.

You're saying that vegan people have to use milk alternatives like almond milk. Which is certainly not the case. What a non-argument.

Also, the problem with milk is not necessarily CO2 but CH4.

I find it hard to believe that not showing video previews from links is a breaking issue for a lot of users. But I get your point that Matrix is kind of complex in some ways. Federation surely doesn't help to combat complexity.

It is quite normal that things break on the Windows Insider Preview builds from time to time right?

I'm pro Free Software, and therefore anti-Microsoft, but isn't it possible that, because of the changes to URL requests, they just haven't implemented support for having a difference standard browser? And that it may come in the upcoming weeks?

This would be an all-time low for Microsoft. It would give them a lot of hate. I find that hard to believe to be honest.

Can you provide a citation for such a wild claim?

You should read the rest of the article and realise the author actually agrees with you. The comment you are replying to is taking the quote out of context.

I was replying to

> The current stewards of the protocol don’t seem to be giving it that, growing features (even if good and competently designed ones) while treating the surroundings with something of a “they will come” approach.

I don't agree the growing features is an issue.

I agree that Matrix is quite complicated. However, adding new features doesn't have to make it that more complicated. I get the impression that it's not that bad as most new features are actually based on existing parts of the protocol. Everything is just based on events in a room. Most 'special' events have a fallback mechanism to text, to insure clients that haven't implemented the event type can still show the information to the user. Replies and stickers make use of this for instance.
